Incorporating all the features of the original, SimCity 2000 Network Edition allows players to team up through LAN, modem, or Internet to find the most efficient way to design and build a city. Players not only have to deal with the opinions of their resident Sims, but they also have to contend with the actions of competing players. While each player ultimately competes to own the most land, they also must work collectively to agree on which aspects of city management are necessary for prosperity.
